This allows you to sync the Volca&#8217;s with each other using old-school audio-based sync. They use an audio \u201cblip\u201d to advance the clock on the sequencer. When syncing, the receiving module will read the same blip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Syncing multiple modules is easy. Just connect a standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/store\/detail\/CMM105--hosa-cmm-105-3.5mm-trs-male-to-3.5mm-trs-male-cable-5-foot\">\u215b\u201d headphone cable<\/a> from the&nbsp;<strong>SYNC OUT<\/strong>&nbsp;of one module to&nbsp;<strong>SYNC IN<\/strong>&nbsp;of the other. It will automatically sync tempo, as well.
